Great leaders work less by setting strict schedules
Entrepreneurs and leaders are busy, but they can work less by making and following a schedule instead of relying on a to-do list, writes John Rampton. This includes starting and ending meetings on time, and leaving space in the schedule for the unexpected.

Making friends in the workplace can be challenging for an introvert, so you should start by observing and making small talk, find an office group that interests you and join in, introverts recommend. "Many offices offer clubs or after-work activities. Choose ones that are interesting to you and dive in by asking about others' days, jobs, and personal lives," says Nicolas Straut of Fundera.

Your Next Challenge
Consider your exit plan when deciding which job to take
If you have several job offers, don't just consider the salary; think about the career growth opportunities and how you'll ultimately exit the company, Lisa Evans writes. Consider whether the skills you'll develop in the job, and the network within the company, can help your ultimate career goals when you move to another company.
